(Haven't got through the video yet if it's mentioned) Fun fact: NOS is a brand and the mention of "I need NOS!" was a hilarious case of product placement. The next movie saw the characters adopt more accurate "street racer lingo" by saying "squeeze", "boost", or "spray". F&F movies from 4 onward replaced those terms with repeatedly saying "family" to make the car go faster.

Ive always looked for such a content creator as Simon, as i tend to constantly watch youtube. However i am picky with my hosts for channels. I got lucky and stumbled across his geographics channel and since then watch content from all of his channels. So regardless of anything else.

Once while i was getting dental work done while quite young i was given too much nitrous. i only remember snippets of the experience but i remember feeling very disoriented and feeling not right in my head/body. next thing i know ive apparently thrown up while laying back in the dentists chair and the poor hygienists had to clean me up 😭. i was under 10 years old at the time and i have never allowed nitrous to be used on me ever again. that was the only time i've had that happen despite having nitrous other times with no issues. though i did notice not necessarily enjoying how it made my head feel any time i was given it. the dentist probably just gave me too much and it's safe for me, but it still freaks me out and i don't like how it makes me feel.

I had to have extensive dental work as a small child (still need more as an adult tbh) and have developed a dental phobia from it, because they weren't so patient with kids in the 80s and had probably never heard of sensory processing disorder. Was given nitrous at one point. Hated every second. I remember feeling like I was still about the same amount of anxious and just "locked in" so externalizing it felt like yelling from the bottom of a well. At least they listened to that distress and didn't keep trying to give it to me just because I was easier to handle on their end.

@randalmayeux8880 2 месяца назад

I used to get NO at the dentist. He still gave me novacaine shots, but it did work better than novacaine shots alone. I never laughed, but I did feel strange. When I was in my late teens and early 20s people would sometimes have a nitrous oxide tank in a room with a bunch of old mattress on the floor. It was a large tank (about 4 ft tall and 10 inches in diameter) and you would fill up large balloons from it, then inhale it. After 2 or 3 balloons full you got pretty disoriented, so the mattresses were a good idea. Of course we were also drinking and smoking weed, and some were doing other drugs as well.😅

@beezysbeatz4924 Месяц назад

About 30 yrs ago my friends and i were "doing whipits" or huffing NOS and I offered my alcohol-only mother. I told her what it was, but she heard "helium filled balloon" and took a deep pull, i told her to hold it in, but she heard, "say words" instead of munchkinland, her voice went "swing low". Of course she laughed at that right as the NOS hit her brain which made her laugh while having a lowkey terrified look on her face. It was the 80's so she just labeled us crazy after she came back to earth 20 secs later.

@windhelmguard5295 2 месяца назад

one really important factor in the use of a nitrous compound to aid combustion is the mere presence of unpaired nitrogen. you see while the part everyone talks about is the increase oxygen delivery, the most energetic part of such a reaction is usually the nitrogen atoms reacting with each other to make nitrogen molecules.

@wagnerrp 2 месяца назад

Nitrogen loves itself, and loves to be bonded to itself. In the case of nitrous oxide, it's already bonded directly to itself with at least a double bond, so there's not a tremendous amount of energy left to be gained. The single-bonded hydrazine decomposes to 400K hotter than the double-bonded nitrous, and even monopropellant hydrazine is considered an inefficient propellant if not fed into secondary combustion with a separate oxidizer.

@marktinsley1477 2 месяца назад

As a power adder great bang for buck getting faster 1/8 and 1/4 miles times for decades. In addition instead of just a secondary fuel pump you can run a complete second fuel system with small 5-8 gallon fuel cell for safety and redundancy. If the main fuel system has any failure the additional fuel need for the nitrous oxide will be supplied preventing lean detonation and melting pistons.

@grog5345 Месяц назад

The term "funny car" refers to the wheelbase changes that were made to the cars to move the weight rearward. It made the cars look "funny". This was pioneered by the Ramchargers in 1964. The first funny cars use super chargers and nitromethane and not nitrous oxide. So the funny car term had nothing to do with nitrous oxide.

Almost universally you just use the same cream dispenser without the cream, it literally comes with a nozzle on it that fits a balloon... *Well, maybe I have, one guy I saw had a smaller more direct nozzle, maybe that was a 'cracker' it was terrible though.
